    Hi Phil, I love these "peeping around the plant" compositions of damselflies and yours is an exceptionally nice one! I love all those shades of green and the excellent details on the damselfly. I may consider a slight CCW rotation to straighten the image.

    I laugh every time I look at this! :D
    The blur behind the eyes (wings?) is somewhat distracting but it really doesn't detract all that much.

    This has wonderful sharpness on the legs and eyes. I have been working on getting a photo similar to this for a long time...now I'm motivated again.:)

    Hey Phillip, I'm with Ken's assesment....do wish the wings were a bit outstretched.....but not a deal breaker......I think this is a very nice but something to shoot for to put it up yet another notch!

    Phil, what a great dragonfly image! I'd definitely attempt to blend that BG so the OOF area isn't showing and let those eyes carry the entire image. Wonderful lighting and exposure. I love this and it really brought a smile to my face!
